Abstract

The use of haptic technologies has great advantages, as it can offer realistic and intuitive interaction with virtual objects, increase the usability and accessibility of applications, improve end-users' cognitive and perceptual capabilities and also make the human-computer interaction more entertaining. Currently, there are many haptic toolkits available. However, existing haptic toolkits are too complex and do not directly support adding haptic feedback in web applications. Moreover, some of the existing toolkits have been developed by companies that sell haptic devices supporting, thus, only their devices. This paper presents the P4A Haptic Toolkit developed in the context of the Prosperity4All FP7 project that enables adding haptic feedback to web applications by also supporting a variety of the most common existing haptic devices. Through this toolkit, a 3D scene containing virtual objects with haptic feedback can be easily integrated in a web application requiring almost no programming skills. Haptic feedback in web applications can significantly improve end-users' cognitive capabilities, especially in cases of visually impaired users.
在web应用程序中添加触觉反馈,以提高最终用户的认知能力
使用触觉技术具有很大的优势,它可以提供与虚拟物体的逼真和直观的交互,增加应用程序的可用性和可访问性,提高最终用户的认知和感知能力,也使人机交互更具娱乐性。目前,有许多可用的触觉工具包。然而,现有的触觉工具包过于复杂,不能直接支持在web应用程序中添加触觉反馈。此外,一些现有的工具包是由销售触觉设备的公司开发的,因此,只支持他们的设备。本文介绍了在Prosperity4All FP7项目背景下开发的P4A触觉工具包,该工具包可以通过支持各种最常见的现有触觉设备,为web应用程序添加触觉反馈。通过这个工具包,包含有触觉反馈的虚拟物体的3D场景可以很容易地集成到web应用程序中,几乎不需要编程技能。web应用程序中的触觉反馈可以显著提高最终用户的认知能力,特别是在视障用户的情况下。
